Hi All,
Sorry I posted this in general too. We are team Psychedelic Pirates going on the Mongol Rally in 2008. WE have bought a Hijet MPV which we hope will get us to Ulan Baataar. Need a bit of advice as to putting larger struts springs and wheels on it. Can you get bigger struts and springs and are there any larger wheels that will fit. We think it may be a good idea to have a snorkel as well, any advice?
Really any advice at all would be good on making our little fella a bit more robust.
Cheers
Gibbo
HI jet BIG wheels
If there was time it would make sense to add a body lift kit and some high section tyres.
There is a site in the US which can supply larger sets of wheels and tyres for fitting to the 4x4 versions of Nipponese micro vans.

Are the people it might be worth chating with about larger section tyres and body lift kits more so if your MPV is one of the rare 4X4 vesrions.
If nothing else you can enjoy this video of small vans and trucks crushing about in the undergrowth.
